Daily Scribble finishes No. 2 in voting for best Web political cartoon of 2004 About.com

"Pithy, witty, funny and on top of the news. What blogs are to political commentary, the Daily Scribble is to the editorial cartoon. I keep coming back for more."Joshua Micah Marshall,Talking Points Memo.

"Though Charles Pugsley Fincher would do well to find a stage name, his daily scribbles are nothing to scoff at. Plain and simple, on lined yellow scratch paper, yet they speak volumes." Jacob Wheeler, Utne.com.

CIA director Peter Goss testified before Congress on Thursday. He said that today's interrogation methods were legal. See New York Times story. He included waterboarding as legal as a "professional interrogation" method. However, he couldn't guarantee that earlier methods were legal. Also on Thursday, George W. Bush weighed on renditions for first time saying they were necessary to fight terrorists and that there had been no torture. He relied on his usual excuse to do whatever he wants: a post 9/11 world . See Washington Post story.

What gets to me about Bush is his hypocrisy. He'll stop at nothing to get what he wants but readily rationalizes his violations of moral and ethical codes both religious and secular apparently because he somehow thinks he's a devout Christian regardless of what he and his entourage do.
